My goal for my photography is to capture and share the beauty around us that, until now even I never took the time to recognize and enjoy. So, if for only a moment, stop, "smell the roses" and enjoy! Digitally capturing birds, flowers, butterflies and other small beautiful things always reaffirms my faith in God, for I'm always reminded of a line in a Hymn, "All things bright and beautiful God hath made." How else could anything so intricate, complex and beautiful even exist? "OPEN YOUR EYES AND LISTEN TO THE BLUEBIRDS" is a result of hundreds of hours of observing bluebirds in our back yard…mehr

My goal for my photography is to capture and share the beauty around us that, until now even I never took the time to recognize and enjoy. So, if for only a moment, stop, "smell the roses" and enjoy! Digitally capturing birds, flowers, butterflies and other small beautiful things always reaffirms my faith in God, for I'm always reminded of a line in a Hymn, "All things bright and beautiful God hath made." How else could anything so intricate, complex and beautiful even exist? "OPEN YOUR EYES AND LISTEN TO THE BLUEBIRDS" is a result of hundreds of hours of observing bluebirds in our back yard at our feeders and birdhouses. Watching the body language of these birds through a 600 mm Nikon lens has been a pure pleasure and one that had to be shared, the first picture that made me realize I must share what I was hearing was the one I captioned "Are you listing to me?" It was then I knew that these birds were talking to us through their body language and we had only to watch closely to see what they had to say. I quickly found that that had a good bit to say and learned that they were excellent stand up comedians. So, after you've read this book, pick up some binoculars or a long lens, a few meal worms a comfortable chair, sit back, watch and listen to your bluebirds. You'll find there is nothing quite so special as "listening" to a couple of God's wonderful creations." God Bless.

Autorenporträt
A life of big game hunting in Africa, international business deals at the highest levels, an association with the Canadian military, and the oversight of a ranch in the Okanagan Valley all led Bob Gibson to write Hunting Trophy. Bob Gibson was born in Bentley Alberta, (pop. 800) in 1946. After a year attending the University of Alberta, he began his business career, initially as a seismic surveyor, but quickly moved on to become a district sales manager for thirty-one 7/11 stores. His greatest business success was in real estate development, where his association with the Jack Singer family took him to projects across North America and Europe. He learned sufficient Russian to conduct business there amidst the post-Soviet disorder. Gifted with an amazing mathematical ability and great insight into the character of his associates, he was a valued partner, director, and board member for several international resource and financial services companies in Calgary. He was an Honourary Colonel with the Calgary Highlanders and, having gained special admission, completed a Master of Strategic Studies at the University of Calgary in 2016. Bob was a certified offshore sailor as well as a fixed-wing and helicopter pilot, an accomplished fly-fisherman, and generous philanthropist. He was also an expert big-game hunter; many of his African experiences, as well as his inside knowledge of high-level international business practices, are reflected in Hunting Trophy. On top of all these manifold accomplishments, Bob was a successful cattleman raising purebred Angus at his beautiful Bobtail Ranch west of Penticton B.C. He died on the ranch in 2020.
